چکیده

UNLABELLED Electron tomography is the leading technique to elucidate the structure of complex biological specimens. Due to the resolution needs, huge reconstructions are required. Grid computing has the potential to face the significant computational demands involved. However, there are a number of key issues, such as stability or difficult user-grid interaction, that currently preclude fully exploitation of its potential. EGEETomo is a user-friendly application that facilitates the interaction with the grid for the non-specialized user and automates job submission and supervision. In addition, EGEETomo is supplied with an automated fault recovery mechanism, which is key to make all the work transparent to the user. EGEETomo significantly accelerates tomographic reconstruction by exploiting the computational resources in the EGEE grid with minimal user intervention.

Application of Wavelet Neural Networks for Improving of Ionospheric Tomography Reconstruction over Iran

In this paper, a new method of ionospheric tomography is developed and evaluated based on the neural networks (NN). This new method is named ITNN. In this method, wavelet neural network (WNN) with particle swarm optimization (PSO) training algorithm is used to solve some of the ionospheric tomography problems. The results of ITNN method are compared with the residual minimization training neura...

Parameter optimization in 3D reconstruction on a large scale grid

Reaching as high structural resolution as possible in 3D electron microscopy of biological specimens is crucial to understanding their function and interactions. Technical and biological limitations make electron microscopy projections of such specimens quite noisy. Under those circumstances, the broadly used Weighted Back-Projection algorithm presents some limitations for 3D reconstruction. It...

Tomographic Reconstruction of the Ionospheric Electron Density in term of Wavelets

Ionospheric tomography is a method to investigate the ionospheric electron density in two or three dimensions. In this study, the function-based tomographic technique has been used for regional reconstruction of a 3D tomographic model of the ionospheric electron density using the GPS measurements of the Iranian Permanent GPS Network. Two-dimensional Haar wavelets and empirical orthogonal functi...
